Follow these rules and I guarantee nothing bad will happen.

Treat every gun as if it is loaded.
Never let your muzzle cover anything you aren't willing to destroy
Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target
Be aware of your target and what is beyond it.

thanks for bringing this one back - so yea the range was pretty awsome - it was the we have guns you pay for bullets to shoot type of spot.

listing of guns i shot in order during the day:

1. 9mm pistol - first gun ever - not to bad - pretty easy to shoot
2. .44 DEagle - very surprised - i went in thinking i should put a helmet on do to recoil and my face. took the shot and the gun didnt even reach my face but i did feel the sheer difference between that and the 9mm.
3. AR30 sniper rifle - holy shit this gun was fun - loud - easy to shoot - hard to load - damn thing kept jamming i think cause it was cold and the guy said the cartridge design was retarded due to some gap and stuff like that.
4. ak-47 - not what i thought of either - i was thinking a crazy gun shooting everywhere - but if you take the time it is pretty acurate and fun to shoot - although having the safety glasses on made it pretty hard to aim the sight on the gun was pretty small
5. ar15 with grenade launcher attachment - this was pretty cool too - the guy was like you want this so you can pretend to be al pacino from scareface, then he does the "meet my little friend line/stance" - i was like "fuck yea where are the grenades?" - he declined my request for grenades

all and all it was a good time although alittle cold on saturday - instructor was pretty cool guy - very helpful with how to hold/use each gun - made sure we had our fingers where they wouldnt get hurt. i would def go again.

I'm not sure. I do know that it made me take a couple steps back and put a big ass bruise on my shoulder.

Ear protection you'll be ringing for a while if you don't. I'm sure you've hear it before, but holding the gun (if it's a rifle) firm to your should makes a world of difference.

In my experience a higher caliber rifle kicks more then a shotgun. I've put a box of 3 1/2 12 ga BBBs through my 870 before and not had much of a problem, but i shoot shotguns quite a bit. I shot my friends Tikka T3 30-06 and definately felt that one more then the 12 gauge.
